Tight ropes encircle me, pulling me in a breathless embrace.
I hide in the dark accepting my fate.
You linger in the shadows, your presence soothes me.
I’m bound by words and actions are impossible.
I pray to darkness to cover my flaws.
I tremble faced with the possibility of light.
I choose candlelight, is always more gracious than
the revealing stone cold truth of sunlight.
I don’t suffer in obscurity, in darkness I conceal my mischief,
I feel at ease.
Virtue lies in the shadows of light and words are my glow.
